Hi
I'm trying to get Nvidia drivers installed on Debian 12 following https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers. Whenever I reboot after installing the drivers, I see the GRUB screen, hit enter, and then get a black screen with blinking cursor. The system then doesn't respond to any Ctrl+Alt+F3 or any other F keys, but it will reboot with Ctrl+Alt+Del. I then am able to boot into Debian by selecting an older kernel from GRUB, and from there I can purge the Nvidia drivers and boot back into the latest kernel.
What I've done:
Installed linux-headers-amd64
Updated sources.list
Checked nvidia-detect
Installed nvidia-driver
Rebooted
Got black screen
Reboot again, choose old kernel
Purged "*nvidia*"
Rebooted, got functioning system again at least
I've repeated the above a few times, with slight variations from reading other posts on the internet, like it was suggested to apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential libglvnd-dev pkg-config but none of my efforts have made a difference.
When I was testing out Debian a month or two ago, I go the Nvidia driver to install and even played a game from Steam. Made me think maybe the latest kernel conflicts with the driver, so I tried booting with an older kernel and installing the driver, but that did nothing, so I guess I don't understand enough about how the older kernels work, or my hunch was just wrong.
